natra Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:37 AM Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:37 AM Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could help me to understand a certain word used in a sentence from the short story 《宇宙墓碑》. "我仁立着看那些墓碑，达到了入痴入迷的地步。" What is the function of 仁立 here? If you need context, here is the paragraph I have taken the sentence from: "十五年后，我带着女朋友去月球旅游。“那里有一个未开发的旅游区，你将会看到宇宙 中最不可思议的事物！”我又比又划，心中却另有打算。事实上，背着阿羽，我早跑遍了太 阳系中的大小坟场。我仁立着看那些墓碑，达到了入痴入迷的地步。它们静谧而荒凉的美跟 寂寞的星球世界吻合得那么融洽，而墓碑本身也确是那个时代的杰作。我得承认，儿时的那 次经历对我心理的影响是微妙而深远的。" Quote
skylee Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:47 PM Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:47 PM I think it should be 佇立 (伫立 in simplified). BTW, if an animal, e.g. a bear or a horse, stands on its hind legs, the action is called 人立. Quote

analgesia Posted October 30, 2009 at 06:18 AM Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 06:18 AM yep，it must and can only be 伫（zhu 4）立 sure,without any other possibilities 伫立 just means ,standing for a long time usually with respect attitude toward sth/sb Quote
HashiriKata Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:27 AM Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:27 AM sure,without any other possibilitiesThere is actually a school in Taiwan call 仁立, set up for the sole purpose of confusing me in my attempt to help the OP. Quote
